About

Media Operator. Systems Architect. Faith-Led Builder.

I'm a media operator who builds systems, not audiences. I run four digital media ventures: JAKIB Sports (Philadelphia sports), Ordo Digitalis (Catholic media institution), Proper Money (finance education), and ZK's Garage (automotive content).

My approach is faith-led, systems-first, and AI-powered. I'm not here to be on camera - I'm here to build businesses that scale without me.

Operating Principles

The framework that guides every decision

1. Faith-Led Operations

Catholic faith serves as the operating system for all business decisions and ethical frameworks. This isn't about religious content (though Ordo Digitalis serves that mission), it's about operating with truth, excellence, and eternal perspective in everything.

2. Systems Over Individuals

The goal is always to build infrastructure that doesn't require ZK to function. Every role, every process, every deliverable should be systematized to the point where the business runs without dependence on any single person - including the founder.

3. AI as Competitive Advantage

Currently building "Otto" - a personal AI operational hub - and integrating automation across every venture. The competitive advantage isn't better on-camera presence or more content volume. It's better systems powered by AI that compound over time.

4. Execution Speed Over Perfect Plans

Analysis paralysis is the enemy. When there's enough information to move, move. Same-day implementation beats month-long planning cycles. The bias is toward action, testing, and iteration.

5. Scale Through Subtraction

Growth isn't about doing more - it's about doing less, better. Every quarter should remove something from the plate while the business grows. The target is maximum impact with minimum personal involvement.
